Core Tip	This review discussed the scenario of available platelet function laboratory and point-of-care methods suitable in different clinical setting. As this matter has become of crucial importance in the bleeding management and for monitoring antiplatelet therapies, improved ability to assess platelet function in a timely and efficient manner is essential. Traditional platelet function methods, requiring a fair degree of expertise, have been limited to specialized laboratory. Many efforts have been carried out for improving platelet function assays for centralized laboratory, such as different point-of-care testing methodologies have been developed. Moreover, different guidelines and recommendations for their method standardization are growing.
